How to Add Navigation to X3 The BMW X3 is a smaller sized SUV; it is the"little cousin"to the company's larger X5. The X3 is available with factory installed navigation. If your X3 does not have the pre-installed BMW navigation system but you still wish to add navigation to your car you have two options: use an aftermarket external dash mount GPS or an in-dash system. Install the in-dash yourself if you are technically savvy,or have it installed at a BMW service center. If you install it yourself,however,be aware that you may void the BMW warranty. Instructions Above Dash Option 1. Write down what features you want for your GPS system. For example,if you live in a hand's free state and wish to make calls while driving,you may want to get a GPS with Bluetooth cell-phone syncing capabilities. Select a suitable GPS navigation device for your purposes. 2. Wash off the section of the dash board where the GPS is mounted. Use a little rubbing alcohol and a rag to clean the area of grit and grime launch x431 master. Mount the holding bracket to the location. 3. Plug the GPS device into the power outlet -- or cigarette lighter -- in the X3. In-Dash 1. Select the Navigation options you wish for your device. The X3 is equipped to take navigation touch screens up to 7 inches in width should your needs include the touch screen functions x431 gds. 2. Purchase the navigation system from the source of your choice. Make an appointment with a certified BMW service center to have the GPS system installed. Failure to have a certified BMW mechanic or service center do the installation may void the BMW warranty. 3. Bring the X3 to the center for the installation appointment.

Troubleshoot Power Windows Power windows are standard equipment on most late model cars. Usually the windows cause few problems,but sometimes they can stop working,or fail to roll back up after being lowered. Problem: One Power Window Does Not Work (no noise,no nothing) If one power windows fails to move when you press the switch to lower it,the most likely causes would be a bad switch,a bad power window motor,a fault in the wiring circuit between the door switch and the door motor,or a wiring fault in the motor power or ground circuit. To diagnose this kind of fault,start with the switch since that is usually the easiest component to remove and check. Many power window door switches simply pry out of their fixtures in the door panel.
If the window lowered fine,but fails to come back up,it may be off the track inside the door launch crp129. This will require removing the door panel to see if the window tracks or guide bushings are broken. Replacing a Power Window Motor Replacing a power window motor is not fun because you have to remove the inner door panel. Some door panels just pry loose from the doorframe,but many require special tools to release the clips that hold the panel in place. The best advice is to look up the door panel removal procedure in the OEM service literature so you can remove the door panel without damaging anything. Once the door panel is off,you may have to drill out rivets that mount the motor to the door frame or window mechanism x431 gds. This can be difficult depending on how accessible the rivets are. The replacement motor will have new pop rivets or screws to hold the motor in place. Problem: None of the Power Windows Work If none of the windows will move when you press their switches,the fault could be a blown fuse for the power window circuit,or an open or short in the wiring circuit that supplies the power window circuit. Check the fuse first. Refer to your owner's manual for the location of the fuse panel (usually located under the dash on the driver side,on the driver's side kick panel,or on a side panel in the center console. Locate the numbered fuse that corresponds to the power window circuit,then pull out the fuse to see if the wire inside has burned through or is broken. If the fuse has blown,there is either a short or an overload in the power window circuit. Try replacing the blown fuse with a new one (make sure it has the SAME amp rating as the original,not lower,not higher). Then turn the ignition key on and try to lower one of the power windows. If the new fuse blows immediately,there is a short in the wiring that will have to be found and fixed. DO NOT try to install a higher amp fuse or bypass the fuse for the power window circuit,as this is your only protection against a dangerous overload that could start an electrical fire! If the windows work,it may have been a temporarily overload that caused the fuse to blow. Trying to lower a window that is frozen shut in the wintertime can do this and/or break the window mechanism inside the door. If the fuse is okay,there may be a break in the wiring that routes power to the power window motors and switches. You'll probably need to look up a wiring harness diagram for your vehicle to identify and trace the wires in the circuit.

How you can maintenance Automotive Light In daily existence, proprietors will look into the vehicle lamps bulbs burn up situation. However, upkeep of vehicle lamps comprehensive system they've no clue how to start. Actually, on time maintaining the outside lights are important to driver, which affects not just driving comfort, but additionally proportional to traffic safety. Usually prior to getting help remind the dog owner is tough to understand that car headlights, taillights, turn lights or parking lights happen to be not able to operate correctly. More frequently, the fault mustn't be limited lights burn up launch x431 iv, plug socket corrosion or plug harm to this type of small problems, frequently have to take professional diagnostic strategies to evaluate the real cause from the malfunction happened. The low-cost vehicle, its exterior and interior lights are also controlled through the host computer while individuals luxury cars, their car headlights so far as need three computer systems to manage. When the vehicle is outfitted with daytime running lights system DRLs (Daytime Running Lamps), you have to first comprehend the working principle of those products. For instance, some daytime running lights system prior to the engine is began, the daytime running lights can't be opened up You will find daytime running lights system, when the parking brake is not canceled, even when the engine has began, the daytime running lighting is still no longer working correctly. When the vehicle is outfitted having a light-controlled light (ie, once the outdoors light is dim to some extent, the machine instantly activates the car headlights using the function), may decide to look into the status of the photosensitive in the poorest towards the most powerful throughout the lights work, obviously, Don't ignore look into the instantly switch off timer. When the product is outfitted having a timer, place it towards the maximum delay. When the vehicle front light is broken, usually use similar light to become changed. Some cars outfitted rich in -intensity discharge headlamps HID, high-pressure arc the unit through its pre-designed electronic system to create high-density discharge creates light. Observe that regular movement - halogen lights can't be applied here. Likewise need examining the front lights contacts for cracks, because even though the surface cracks don't modify the performance from the car headlights illuminated, however the moisture will penetrate cracks across the lamps, which inevitably will reduce light lifespan. Calibration front lights illumination direction ought to be incorporated within the listing of maintenance products, because to be able to ensure maximum safety of drivers driving, car headlights must have the ability to provide good lighting for that driving from the vehicle forward. Additionally, many automobiles is going to be fog lights as standard equipment or popular optional parts launch x431 diagun, fog lights usually set up in a lesser position from the vehicle, and for that reason susceptible to stone damage, while its maintenance, additionally to examining the lighting system itself, the front lights lens crack shouldn't be overlooked. Some vehicle diagnostic tools will help you test out your vehicle on your own, for example: Autel Maxisys MS908, MaxiDAS DS708 Tool, Autel Maxidiag MD802 and so forth.

Signs Your Car Battery Is Failing By Christopher Perkins,eHow Contributor A vehicle's battery will not last forever,and without it the car will be unable to continue to run or even start. When a battery is approaching the end of its useful life,there will usually be ample warning signs and clues that,if heeded,can prevent a breakdown. Since the cost of automotive batteries is significant,it pays to look for the signs of impending failure to ensure enough time to arrange funds for a replacement x431 diagun. Have a question? Get an answer from a mechanic now! Dashboard Indications In most cases,your car will warn you when the battery will soon need replacing. With the engine running,a battery annunciator light on the instrument panel will illuminate when the battery is beginning to fail. Some instrument panels may have a gauge called an ammeter that shows the battery state. In this case,if the ammeter is reading near the low end,like an empty fuel tank gauge launch creader vii,the battery is in poor condition. The car's manual will have details on what the annunciator light or ammeter looks like,but most typically have a picture of a battery with plus and minus signs at the terminals. Engine Starting Indications A car with a failing battery will have difficulty starting up because the weakened battery will not have enough power to turn all the components in the engine. When the ignition is turned to the start position,symptoms such as cranking slower than normal and loss or dimming of internal and external lights indicate a failing battery. If nothing but a rapid clicking noise is heard when the key is turned to start,the battery is critically low. Bench Testing Periodic testing of the condition of the battery may be the best early warning of battery failure. Many auto parts stores and mechanic shops offer free bench testing of car batteries,oftentimes as part of a free road safety or road worthiness test. The battery is charged and then tested on a machine,and the results indicate whether there is much useful life left in the battery.

In everyday use, some just little things can be solved; some are purely due to improper driving. Part of the money unconscionable repair department, by the owner of the lack of car knowledge, often took the opportunity to repair the expansion, for example, I have seen one owner to repair air conditioning does not cool to go wrong, a mechanic for her replacement compressor assembly launch creader vii, the results did not solve the problem launch x431 pro, then checked and found the fault lies solely with thermostat. Here are some of the cars driving tips that can make you better avoid unnecessary failures.

1, do not start too fast, so as to avoid dragging the ground and accelerated tire tread wear.

2 should be based on the size of the vehicle downhill slope, length and road conditions, vehicle speed control appropriate, use the emergency brake to avoid or less, reduce tire wear.

3, the vehicle turning condition should be judged according to a curve, the turning radius. Generally car equipped appropriate gear to avoid the inertial force and centrifugal force to accelerate unilateral tire wear.

4, driving on uneven roads, one should choose the road, hitting the tire and the road surface to reduce, avoid damage to parts and tires, and to slow amble to avoid tire bumps and strong vibrations.

5, when turning the car will overtake through the intersection, narrow junctions, railway crossings and other locations, should have an appropriate speed, and pay attention to the road, pedestrians, vehicle dynamics, ready to brake, less frequent braking, reduce tire wear.

6, lane highway maintenance or construction sites, the application of low- road approach to amble through choice and avoid crashing or subjected to excessive tire was stabbed.

7, through muddy lots should be called a solid choice, do not slip through the place, so as not to tire subsidence, standing idle, causing severe vibration and tire sidewall severe cuts scratches.

8, vehicles in parking and station parking should develop safe taxiing habits.

Good driving habits can make your car better maintained, but also let you to have an enjoyable driving experience. Therefore, don't forget regular maintenance care and at the same time don't forget to develop good driving habits. If you want in order to save yourself from problems, you ought to obtain a vehicle diagnostic tool placed on your automobile, such as:

Diagnose Automatic Transmission Problems There are a few words in the language of auto repair that make car owners want to crawl back into bed,and"transmission"is at the top of the list. There's something about that mysterious box underneath your car that incites fear. Unfortunately,most repair shops know this,and will take advantage of the situation by reaching deep into your pocket. Before you hand over your keys and a blank check,brush up on the simple end of automatic transmissions. If something is seriously wrong,at least you'll be armed with enough knowledge to avoid being overcharged launch x431 pro,over-repaired or straight ripped off. Your transmission is a remarkable contraption. Somehow it can shift your car from gear to gear,knowing how fast you need to go and how quickly you need to get there. What goes on inside is a mystery to most. Unless your thirst for automotive knowledge borders on compulsive,you can leave it a mystery. The basics will be enough to have an intelligent (which translates to"not about to be ripped off") conversation with your mechanic. Basic Parts of a Transmission While there are many,many little parts inside,your transmission is essentially made up of a few key parts of systems. Bell Housing: This is the cone shaped metal case that you can see when you peek underneath your car. If you have a front-wheel-drive car it's stuck on the side of the engine under the hood. If your car is rear-wheel-drive,the transmission will be mounted underneath the car behind the engine. Gears: Even though you're not shifting them,an automatic transmission has gears. They are broken into main gears and planetary gears. You need all of these to be able to drive. Fluid: Transmission fluid is very important to an automatic transmission. All of the magic happens in the fluid. Most cars come with red transmission fluid,good to know if you are looking for a leak. Filter: All of that fluid has to be clean for your car to shift gears at the right time. To keep things fresh launch creader viii,your transmission has a filter to catch any gunk. Now that you know a little about what's happening in there,you can try to figure out why your transmission is acting up,or at least understand what your mechanic is talking about while he tries to make your bill into his new fishing boat. Transmission problems fall into two very similar categories: Won't go smoothly These two groups of problems are caused by the same faults in your transmission,so whichever your car is doing,the following applies. Is your fluid level correct? It's important to check your transmission fluid at least twice a year. Not only can a low fluid level cause your car to shift poorly,it can eventually lead to transmission damage,and a costly repair. If your car seems to be losing fluid on a regular basis,you may have a leak. Is your transmission leaking? Checking for leaks isn't as trying as it may seem. The transmission is a closed system,so there are only a few places that can spring a leak. Unless it's been changed to a non-dyed fluid,your car will have red transmission fluid. Here are a few places to check for leaks: At the filler tube base. At the drain hole underneath the transmission. Between the transmission and the engine. At the selector shaft - the rod that connects your gear shift to the transmission. Speed sensor mounting point. This will either be your cable screwing into the transmission housing or an electronic sensor bolted to the housing. The radiator. If your car has a transmission cooler,it's possible that a leak will cause transmission fluid to leak into the radiator fluid. They don't mix well,so you'll see it floating around in there. Is your filter clogged? Your transmission's filter is vital to its performance. If you haven't replaced your filter in a while (or ever for a lot of us),be sure to do this before you start talking about rebuilds or replacements. Most transmission problems can't be fixed by the average do-it-yourselfer. There are just too many specialized tools and pieces of equipment you'll need,and buying this expensive gear just to screw up your first three tries at fixing the thing just doesn't make too much sense. Now that you're in front of the firing squad,it's time to drop some knowledge on your fix-it guy. Tell him what the car's doing. Then tell him what you found out when you inspected the transmission. If there's a leak,let him know where and how much is leaking.

Maintenance guides on car air filters Air filter filters the air flowing into the car's intake systems. Every vehicle has an engine air filter, so for those vehicles equipped with cabin air filters, these two kinds of filters help keep the air "clean" for you and your car engine to "breathe". Air filters are designed to absorb those pollutants or contaminants in the air. So, with time going on, gradually you'll have the build-ups accumulated in your filters, choking off more and more air supply and cause the filters to clog. On the other hand, no matter how well the filters are maintained, eventually they will wear and break down. In this short passage, we'll offer you some tips on car air filter cleaning and replacement. Air filter cleaning aims at those filters which can be reused, such as foam and cotton air filters. There are two methods of cleaning-washing and vacuuming. The soap approach might get the filter cleaner while it takes a lot more time and has a higher potential risk level. For vacuuming, it might not get so clean like the washing way, but it won't do any harm. To begin with, you need to locate the filters. You can consult your manual or ask your mechanic or check the internet for the answer. Remove the filters. Then use the above ways to clean the filters. If you take the first washing method, allow the filters to air dry completely before reinstalling them. This is important because putting the filter back in wet can damage your engine. If your filters need to be replaced, after the older ones are removed, mount the new ones. So here comes another question, what kind of air filters or which model should I buy? Perhaps, the simplest answer is to buy one with the same model. Just take the old filter with you to the parts store when purchasing a new one. Or determine the exact model of the filter and engine size of your vehicle. Your owner's manual will list the correct manufacturer part number for the air filter and any associated components that go with it. So just check your owner manual. If you know your vehicle's name and engine size, you can also visit your local auto parts store. The parts store's staff will generally be able to direct you to the correct air filter parts for your vehicle. Always, you can turn to your dealership. It is the easiest way yet the most assured one of purchasing the correct filter. Some may wonder how long a car's air filter can last Creader CRP123. For this, there's no definite answer. About replacement, some experts recommend an interval of 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers), along with changing the oil. In fact, that all depends, as is often the case with car parts, on how hard the car is driven and under what conditions. Your best bet, of course, is to consult the owner's manual and follow the manufacturer's recommendations on type and frequency of replacement filter. In any case, it's a smart and proactive policy to at least inspect the air filter every 6,000 miles (9,656 kilometers). It costs nothing to look, and it could save you from expensive repairs down the road x431 diagun.

Easily neglected by owners car maintained details In addition to regular visits to the repair shop time to do routine maintenance, maintenance of some small places all car owners also worth attention because of their relation to the maintenance and care of the same comfort and security when you drive. Dashboard cleaning needs careful A very important part of the car interior is every driver will be directly facing the dashboard, it will directly affect the cleanliness of the occupant of the car interior environment overall effect of visual experience Launch X431. Because of the complex structure the corners much more difficult to clean up various switches and other instruments. Little attention to the dashboard you will find only able to clean with a rag and sponge parts rarely, these various obstacles where required "special tools", in this case their own design "special tools" can come in handy, with The thickness of the various pieces of wood or ruler, put it into the head repair oblique triangle, rectangle or pointed different styles, and then wrap it in a clean cleaning cloth various obstacles which is the best way to end, both to improve the cleaning effect, but without causing damage to parts to be cleaned. Carpet washing techniques by Inside the car is most likely dirty carpet, if you use a brush head cleaning machine cleaning process, you can make dirty carpet looks not so dirty. For more dirty carpet, you can only use a special detergent. Usually with detergent prior to the removal of the two tasks launch x431 pro, and then spray the right amount of detergent, scrub clean with a brush, and finally with a clean rag and wipe off the excess detergent on it, so you can make both washed carpet Clean any connection with the same soft before. Most important to note is that the carpet does not fully immersed in water scrub, on the one hand will destroy the carpet inside the adhesive layers of different materials, on the other hand makes the carpet for a long time to dry and can not affect the results, causing the car in the wet. Brake maintenance Wealth Check the brake system is focused on the amount of brake fluid, confirm whether the storage tank baseline. When checking brake fluid than the previous significant reduction in the likelihood of failure is very high. Brake fluid leaking pipeline also need to pay close attention, the car is equipped with manual clutch, which also requires attention to the amount of fluid, if the reduction in the amount of fluid into the air, and you cannot brake. Therefore, the maintenance of the brake system brake fluid should be noted that, if the amount of fluid enough air into the brake will become insensitive. Also, check the clutch pedal to try to check intermittent points, bad or deviate from the exact point you need to repair. Here we recommend some car diagnostic tools can help you test your car by yourself, such as: autel maxidas ds708, Autel MaxiTPMS TS501, autel maxisys ms905 and so on.

Battery Testing,Maintenance and Myths Your vehicle's battery is not very demanding,and most often only thought about when it fails. But just a small amount of care and maintainence will help insure it doesn't let you down when you need it most. Lack of battery care and maintenance combined with cold weather has a way of bringing out the borderline batteries that were fine in the summer,but don't have the power for a cold weather start. And not just winter,battery care and maintenance is a year round requirement. You want to catch a bad battery before it lets you down,usually on one of the coldest days of the year. Testing and maintaining a battery is fairly simple and only requires a few basic tools. If you only think about your battery once a year,fall would be a good time to go outside and spend some quality time with your battery launch cresetter. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Before you do anything with a battery,you need to wear eye protection and keep any open flames away from the battery. This includes cigarettes and other smoking products. Batteries produce hydrogen gas that is extremely flammable. Batteries contain sulfuric acid so I would also recommend wearing latex gloves to keep battery acid from burning your hands. Testing the Battery 1. Tools. If you have a non-sealed battery,it is highly recommended that you use a good quality temperature compensating hydrometer. There are two basic types of hydrometers launch creader viii,the floating ball type and a gauge type. Personally,I prefer the gauge type. They are,I think,much easier to read and I don't have to stand there trying to decipher colored balls. Battery hydrometers can be purchased at an auto parts or battery store for less than $. To test a sealed battery or to troubleshoot a charging or electrical system,you will need a digital voltmeter with (or better) accuracy. A digital voltmeter can be purchased at an electronics store,such as Radio Shack,for less than $. Analog (needle type) voltmeters are not accurate enough to measure the mill volt differences of a battery's State-of-Charge or measure the output of the charging system. A battery load tester is optional. 2. Inspect The Battery. Look for obvious problems such as a loose or broken alternator belt,low electrolyte levels,a dirty or wet battery top,corroded or swollen cables,corroded terminal mating surfaces or battery posts,loose hold-down clamps,loose cable terminals,or a leaking or damaged battery case. Repair or replace such items as required. Distilled water should be used to top off the battery fluid level. 3. Recharge The Battery. Recharge the battery to 100% State-of-Charge. If non-sealed battery has a .030 (sometimes expressed as 30 "points") or more difference in specific gravity reading between the lowest and highest cell,then you should equalize the battery using the battery manufacturer's procedures.

How to Install Aftermarket Sunroofs Sunroofs are a popular feature included in some models of automobile. When not installed at the factory,special aftermarket kits are available to install power sunroofs in your car without the help of a professional shop. The kits include detailed templates custom-tailored to your make and model of car to ensure that any cuts into the roof occur in the right place. You will need several power tools,but no further expenses are required beyond the kit launch x431 diagun. Instructions Making Room for the Sunroof 1 Follow the sunroof kit's directions to measure,mark and tape off where on the car roof the template should be laid. 2 Flatten the template completely over the roof,making sure to smooth out any creases. 3 Cut out the areas designated on the template with a hobby or other single-edged knife. Trace around the inside edges of these areas with a marker. 4 Locate the six holes marked at the front of the template for the wind deflector,and drill just through them just enough to penetrate the exterior without harming the interior lining. 5 Remove the template,then drill a larger,pilot hole inside of the area you traced. 6 Starting at and using this pilot hole,cut out the traced section of the metal exterior with a saber saw,a"nibbler",or,alternatively,a die grinder. Carefully peel the sheet of metal away from the support ribs underneath and discard it. 7 Cut each of the exposed ribs along the newly cut roof edge with a die grinder and discard them as well. 8 Use screwdrivers to detach and remove any lights mounted to the interior ceiling where the sunroof is to be installed,then unplug them. 9 Hold a permanent marker against the inside edge of the roofing section you cut out and trace around it onto the headliner. 10 Use a utility knife or box cutter to cut out the traced section of headliner to match the roofing as closely as possible. 11 Lay 3/4-inch tape around the outside of the headliner. Use this tape as a guide as you cut around the outsides of the tape to remove an addition 3/4 inch from each side of the headliner. 12 Remove an additional 3/4 inch from each of the ribs to match the headliner,using a die grinder or sabersaw from underneath. 13 Remove burrs from the edges cut out of the roof with the die grinder. 14 Starting with the front strip,apply the strips of protective foil from the sunroof kit to the roof of the vehicle. Place them flush with the cut edges without creases or wrinkles. 15 Use the special sealing washers,nuts and bolts to attach the front wind deflector,leaving the nuts untightened. Installing The Sunroof 1 Carefully lower the sunroof into the cutout section of the roof. Take special care not to dent the exterior. 2 Remove the cap on the"A"pillar,the structural beam supporting the roof on the driver's side of the windshield. 3 Route the wiring for the sunroof's motor down the pillar to underneath the dash. 4 Use a screwdriver to remove both of the retaining screws from the sunroof motor. Ensure that the motor can be slid between the metal skin of the outer roof and the interior lining. 5 Push the frame for the front clamp into place at the front of the cut-out headliner,then screw in the motor fastening screws from the sunroof kit. 6 Hold the frame for the rear clamp in place at the other end,then screw down and tighten the accompanying nuts from the kit onto each of the stay bolts. 7 Push the side frames on and screw them in place using the screws provided in the kit. Avoid driving screws into holes covered by labels at this point. 8 Hold the trim frame supports in position so that the upwardly-flanged nose engages the gap between the main frame and the clamping frame. Screw them in place with the kit's fastening screws,tightening each one equally. 9 Connect the sunroof's switch to the wiring loom and test it. 10 Close the sunroof and adjust the wind deflector before tightening down the nuts on it. 11 Lay the wire for the switch in the gap at the front as you fit the front trim cover in place. 12 Open the sunroof completely,then hold the rear and side trim covers as you push in the fasteners from the kit to attach them in place launch cresetter. 13 Start at the middle of the rear edge and push the edge protection bumper into place all around the sides. Trim excess with wire cutters.

As oil prices rising, fuel has become a topic of concern for most car owners x431 gds. Now I want share for many years of exploration experience in fuel efficient are summarized as follows:

How much fuel has a close relationship with the vehicle itself, such as vehicle weight, the external shape, size, and manual or automatic displacement so directly affect fuel consumption indicator. In general, the lighter weight, sleek and smooth outside, large displacement engine power of filial piety, manual transmission vehicles relative to is much more fuel-efficient.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance to reduce fuel consumption also plays a pivotal role. First, the engine requires regular maintenance, because there is any engine problems may lead to increased fuel consumption; secondly need often change the air filter, fuel filter, otherwise it will cause incomplete combustion of gasoline and reduce fuel efficiency; Third, check the tire pressure regularly and the degree of tire wear, low tire pressure can cause increased fuel consumption, while don't arbitrarily change the size of the tire, the wider the tire the greater the resistance, oil money will be wasted.

Driving habits

Good driving habits can help you save a lot of oil money, so the car owner except before depart planned driving route, try to avoid traffic congestion and reduce the things of not commonly used to reduce vehicle weight, also need to pay attention to the following points.

1, shift gears in time and faster, especially when traveling in the shorter shift time on the slopes, the more you can save fuel, while low gears high-speed long-distance driving oil special allowance;

2 launch crp129, under normal road conditions and the appropriate temperature, the air conditioning should be minimal, but the high speed turn off air conditioning and ventilation windows that open more desirable, because after consuming than drag window air-conditioning systems consume more fuel;

3, to reduce the idle state, especially under prolonged idling and the air conditioning running more idle fuel consumption;
